The people of Ukraine are putting their lives on the line to defend their country, freedom, and democracy. You are sitting here stressed out about your damn mundane life. Get a grip, motherfucker.

Congratulations to Marcin Wichary. His monumental, two-volume, 1,216-page Shift Happens: A book about keyboards is being backed for almost half a million dollars. He has been working on this book for many years; therefore, he definitely deserves it. It will be a great book. If you can afford it, go back it. It’s a bit of a luxury for me. By the way, check out the conversation with Robin Rendle about the book. I have followed Robin’s writing for a while now. It was nice to hear his voice.

My thanks to Matti Tanskanen for buying me two cups of coffee. He shares:

Been enjoying your work for a long time. Thanks for providing design and typography inspiration throughout the years!

I really appreciate it. I also updated my Buy me a Coffee page.

I gave myself a baldhawk—a mohawk to cover my bald spot. I have been shaving my head ever since I started to bald. It’s time to do something creative. Worse to to worse, I can just shave it all off and become a monk again.
